You can't teach bat-speed.  It's not like we got an over the hill guy with declining physical abilities and a slow bat. His hard-hit rate and avg. exit velocities are darn good. He doesn't s

The term “can of corn” is a baseball term for an easy catch.  But its origin probably came from 19th century grocery stores that would keep their cans on the top shelf.  When a shopper wanted a can (c

Kinda surprised at the hatred for this one.  He's been dynamic at times but can't stay healthy, and is coming from a dumpster fire team.  Worth a shot to see if he can rekindle something.

So we’re gonna trade players to get a guy who’s worse than the great prospect we could just call up instead? I’m sick of Elias

I mean....we are supposed to be getting rid of players like this so that the youngsters at AAA can actually play.

Very very tired of this strategy....including trading for mediocre pitchers at the trade deadline.

Makes no sense.  He’s a DH.  He’s slooow.  Costs millions.  Has no defensive value.  Unless this is part of a Crochet deal I have to ask if Mike Elias has completely lost it.

It's just a RH bat vs LHP. How does that not make sense? We were always going to acquire a RH OF. He is one. We just cratered our OF depth in trades, including trading two RH bats. 

Not that big of a deal.

This acquisition appears to be taking potential ABs away from Mayo. 

Do you see that differently?

I had no expectations of Mayo coming up soon.  Elias works on his own timetable.

He said at the all-star break that Mayo and Holliday would come up and have a significant impact in the 2nd half. Was he lying? If so, why?

Everyone that is tired of McCann catching vs. every lefty.  This is the move to stop that.   Now Adley can catch vs. most lefties, McCann catches maybe once every 7 days  and Jimenez DH's vs. lefties.  I know McCann has hit legendary status after yesterday, but he can't hit and it seems every games he catches he has some type of throwing error or passed ball which leads to a run.

      AL playoff picture

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The Royals have completed 14 games in 14 days all against CLE-MIN-HOU like this, a testament to the rollercoaster of baseball: WWW-LLLLLLL-WWWW Bobby Witt heads to the Bronx for the next 3 games with his best chance to make some noise and shake up the AL MVP contest. Cubs avoid the sweep to keep the AL East at 0.5 games.

      Sweep in Boston

      I think it's just trying to be predictive rather than a jinx.

      He needs to catch up to the scouting report. Needs to start looking for pitches on the edge of the strike zone early and driving them. He's failing to adjust in my opinion. I also have serious concerns about his bat speed from the left side.

      Norby did some of the damage to get his OPS up to .900. It is invigorating what being inked into the top of the lineup for a 100-loss team can do for a player.

      Trevor Rogers 2024

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      Norby would be a very valuable member of the team right now. It’s difficult to say we should’ve kept him, when nobody knew that Urias would be injured, but I think it is quite accurate to say that the trade was bad because we gave up much and got little. Even when discussing potential, before Roger showed up and was horrible, it was still a bad trade because Rogers has been in decline and there was no logical reason to expect him to be anything other than mediocre. And if you’re willing to sacrifice defense for offense, as the Orioles obviously are with mayo, then any defensive shortcomings that Norby might have are irrelevant. edit: I am aware that the Orioles aren’t playing mayo in the field very much, so they are obviously concerned with his defense, but they aren’t so concerned with his defense that they are unwilling to play him anyway. they are just hoping he improves.

      2024 Yankees - Aaron Judge/Juan Soto friendship watch

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Players grappling with the fact the people with pocket protectors have done the math and even Keegan Akin 17 pitches at a time might be better than Corbin Burnes 93 pitches at a time. Lot of off days in the postseason. You have to be a workhorse and a showhorse to keep your regular season role.    Thanks for the innings though Nestor (and Kyle Gibson).
